Captain Picard: “Seize the time, Meribor. Live now. Make now always the most precious time. Now will never come again. ”
This quote from one of my favorite episodes “The Inner Light” is something I have made a personal rule. I used to have far more “safe” approach to things I did (maybe 2-3 years ago) but circumstances and sitatuations have taught me, once again, captain Picard is correct. Everyday, every minute or second we have chances to do things, to fulfill part of our dreams, to make ourselves or someone else happy.
The chances we get now might dissapear forever if we wait too long, and really is it worth playing life so safe that we ignore the chances we are given? Step away from the computer, the work desk, the TV whatever, go somewhere with your friends, create something, read a book, watch something you’ve always wanted to see (heck watch something awful just for fun). Regardless, do something that will make you happy, fullfill you, make you feel like you learned something. One of the worst things we can do with our time is to sit and become stagnant or lazy. Whatever it is you love in life, go do it and don’t regret it. If others complain or ridicule you, try to remember their own lives are probably very sad and empty if all they have to do is sit around and whine about what you with your time.
